Submit Your Nominations for 2026 Commencement Keynote Speakers!

As we look ahead to celebrating students who will graduate this spring, members of the Bryn Mawr community – and especially undergraduate and graduate members of the Class of 2026 – are invited to nominate potential keynote speakers for commencement. Inviting distinguished guests to offer our graduates words of wisdom is a memorable way to recognize our students’ accomplishments and to shine a light on Bryn Mawr’s values in the world.  

You are encouraged to think boldly and expansively in your nominations, proposing individuals whose accomplishments and passions will inspire our students and uplift the College’s mission and legacy. While the keynote speaker nomination form will remain open year-round, speaker nominations for 2026 will need to be received by 5 p.m. Friday, October 17. Submit your nominations here.
